Here is episode 5 of FUN with Kevin Gifford and His Pretend Pals, a limited-time podcast run by me. I play lots of old game/demo/computer-generated music running the entire history of the genre. Throughout the show, I also cut in and talk about myself, the game industry, and other things of questionable interest.

Features this time around include:

An intro

A thrilling look at the drug situation in the state of Oregon

The first GameCube track in FUN history

The exclusive story of how running a dumb NES site got me into the game industry

Discussion of how Microsoft is going to spy on you scratching your balls

The wistful farewell song

And more

This is a free podcast and by all means let everyone know about it, because FUN is best when it’s shared, right?

A full annotated tracklist will be released tomorrow! And make sure to keep June 2 open, because the final episode will be the one where I finally reveal my secret formula for enjoying the rest of your life! What could it be?!!

Your NES site was far from dumb, it was and still is awesome. I don’t know if you remember me or not, I think I may have typed some manuals for your site, and we talked a few times at Mike Etler’s store. I am really enjoying the podcast, I don’t listen to video game music much anymore, but I like what you’re playing. It reminds me of the hours I spent on your site back in the 90s. I hope you will do more in the future, thanks Kevin!

Oh man, that Popful Mail song! It’s been forever since I played that, and I only know it from the SegaCD, so the sound was way off from what I remembered and I was left wondering, “why do I know a song on PC88 hardware??”
